ctb because I don't wanna work for people and capitalism

[artpopbestalbum]

I'm 26 years old and I have been into some serious shitty office jobs, from call centers to marketing agencies. But the reason why I wanna CTB is because I have been severely mistread in the job's market. I can't sit in a office for 8 hours a day, having a boss drain my whole vital energy and making me feel oppressed and feeling like shit.

I hate myself because I can't hold a job. It's too many hours of my day. I will leave work and I still go home to my miserable life and I can't relax.

I feel like work is the modern slavery.

You know the only thing that kept me alive for all those years? First, not having acess to methods, but mainly, because I'd dream I'd be able to fly on a airplane and to see a Lady Gaga concert again.

But living in south america and having shitty working conditions, It would be a miracle If I turned out fine enought to afford plane tickets, international concert tickets and things like this.

But to watch a Lady Gaga concert, I'd probably have to be working non-stop, and then I wouldn't even have the time to travel for that.

I feel like I am a modern slave to capitalism.

I'm only lucky enough I have acess to SN in my country, by online shopping (shopee and mercado livre).

But that's what bothers me: having to work 8 hours a day, think about work and shitty abusive bosses for the left 16 hours a day (even in my nightmares)... and to work until the day I die (if the system doesn't manage to kill me before with modern diseases such as cancer, or even severe depression which is killing me right now).

That's life without sugar coating, the reality. The truth is bitter and always makes me salty.

Your frustration is understandable. If you can utilise welfare programs for mental health concerns, then you might look into that. I do not know your circumstances, but, sometimes, there are ways to work for yourself to some extent. Agricultural work or work with animals has sometimes shown some benefit in being free from oppressive bosses. Understand your options. Figure out what you could do and whether you can make things work for you. These decisions must be taken seriously. Clarity of mind is essential. Clarity comes from knowing your situation and knowing your options. Sometimes, having a way out gives a person the courage to try other options.

With all that being said, I hope you find peace.

I fully agree with this. Think about it all the time. It's so freaking horrible and insane..

 

[Superdeterminist]

Work alone is reason enough to justify ctb. We don't even need to go into all the other problems in existence. Only a tiny minority of people get to enjoy their work and get good enough money from it to fund the life they want.

fantastic statement

I've had this experience, too. I eventually managed to achieve a very basic level of financial independence so I only have to work part-time now, but I look back on years of misery and have lost my youth as well. Worse, the same strategy that (barely) worked for me would no longer work now since housing costs have risen so much.

If there's one piece of advice I can give, it is that this lifestyle doesn't make sense when we are alone. Add a partner for a double-income and someone to share weekends with and it might cross the line into bearable territory.

Why not just be an entrepreneur. These days there are alot of hustles you can get into rather than working a 9-5 job

I'm also from South America and I know your struggle, you work and work with little rights and in the end of the day our money is nothing, our currency worth nothing and we're trapped to only live to fill basic needs, no glimpse of something good or bright ahead.
You're right to feel this way

Your feelings are understandable. Working is just being a slave to the society and I get that it can be awful having to continue to endure a life that you hate which is just constant suffering. Existing can certainly be torturous for so many in this world.

The only reason I keep going to work at company I hate, with customers I hate in a profession I hate, for the last 21 years is survival. Now I have gotten tired of existing without living. My day comes, sn ctb is in my future. Took me decades to get here, I am NOT going to continue this I promise you.
